About the M25
The NAD M25 is a powerful 7-channel amplifier, delivering 160 watts per channel into both 8Ω and 4Ω loads with a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.03% across the 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range. It features seven individual mono block amplifiers, each with a balanced junction FET input stage to minimize cross-talk and noise. The M25 incorporates NAD's proprietary PowerDrive circuitry for optimal power supply management and a switchable Soft Clipping circuit to protect speakers from distortion. It is THX Ultra 2 certified, ensuring high-quality performance for demanding soundtracks. The amplifier includes a 12V trigger for remote on/off control and is designed with custom heat sinks and variable-speed fans for efficient cooling. The M25 is no longer available for purchase but remains a notable model in NAD's Masters Series.
